Netizens have heaped praise on a kind-hearted taxi-driver who offered a free ride from Bangkok to the north-eastern province of Udon Thani to a family of three, after they were evicted from a rented room in the middle of the night by the landlord, because of the non-stop crying of their 4-month-old baby girl.

 

According to the cabbie, Anurak Nakgamthong, who posted the story, the family, including 50-year-old Daoruang Apainipat, his wife and their four-month-old daughter, were evicted from their rented room in the Laksi railway station area on the night of August 10th.

 

Daoruang admitted that his baby cried a lot, because she had a fever after being vaccinated, and her cries annoyed the landlord, who told them to leave immediately. With no other choice, they took shelter at a nearby market for the night.

Eh?  babies get vaccinated for stuff.  It is quite common you know.  My kids were vaccinated for several things at that age.  What are you shocked about??  

Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, whooping cough, hepatitis, diptheria, rotavirus....

See how easily an ordinary Thai can become homeless. 

There is little in terms of social safety nets. 

That is why so many low income ones wear Two masks,

hoping to not get covid..
